I like Apple devices because they are easy to use and last a relatively long time. I am also mostly experienced in using them. I have a lot of older devices. I enjoy researching Apple devices and seeing how they work!

I am not the most educated on this site, but I try to help as much as I can. If I've made any mistakes please don't hesitate to correct me!

You'd have to keep your original home button. You can buy stickers to put on it to change the colour to whatever your heart desires. Here's a link; https://www.amazon.ca/Sakula-Button-Sticker-Touch-iPhone/dp/B01GX99K6G/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&...-6&keywords=home+button+stickers

Since you're not being very specific, what have you tried? Hard reset might work, same with trying different charging cables, but if the iPod has been off or dead for a number of years it's likely that the battery might have gone flat. Since Apple no longer repairs these devices since they're obsolete, there's a good chance you might have to disassemble it yourself and have a look. If this is the case, you will need a new battery which will probably be hard to find considering the age of this device. It's an old iPod so it's common that the battery would be dead. This is why you should charge it to 50% and power it down when you're going to store it for a long period of time. Either way, I would replace the battery because like oldturkey said, it's coming to the end of it's lifetime.

Screen replacement. It might have damaged the LCD, so you may need to get that replaced as well. Screen replacements are relatively easy, they're cheap on EBay and since it's a 5, you don't need to worry about the Touch ID cable. You'd need to transfer the home button. The iPhone screen is made of layers. Underneath the glass is the Liquid Crystal Display, which is responsible to for the touch and the display of images. To know if your LCD is broken, there would be out-of-place lines, blurry or black spots or a black screen. Only do a screen replacement if you know how. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think that it's a quick fix by pressing a few buttons, but you should definitely take it into an Apple Store or third-party repair shop. (Usually cheaper)

If it's been dead/off for years, the battery might have completely gone flat. That's why people say to charge it up to 50% so that it's not dead but also not full, and shut it down if you're not going to use it for a while. You might need a new battery?

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202179 Is your computer hot? If not, First make sure your iMac is properly ventilated. The iMac has vents along the bottom edge and on the back. Make sure nothing is blocking them! If it's properly ventilated and not overheated, try restarting the computer, if that does not work, please read the link provided above! But if restarting it doesn't help, you may need to reset the SMC, system management controller, which controls the fans and a lot of the physical components in your iMac. There is instructions for doing so here: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201295 please read through all of them before doing anything to your iMac.

Put it on a hard surface so that it's properly ventilated. I don't know much about that laptop, but I do know that when the fans are covered, it prompts the fan to go off as it will start to get warm. You can purchase a fan/flat surface type thing for your laptop, it has it's own fan that you can turn on to reduce overheating. I use one for my Mac as a flat surface and it saves me a lot of worrying.

Same issue with me... people are saying it could be long screw damage. When you put the wrong screw in the wrong spot, it could damage the logic board. This is a super helpful response I got from @refectio. Credit to them for this great response!! (hopefully they don't mind that I'm adding this!)

Bring it to Apple - but sometimes computers overheat a bit when you're working it to hard. Does it always do this, or does it depend what you're doing on it? If you play games on it or leave 50 tabs open at once, it may get a bit warm. If it's not when you're overworking it, definitely get it checked out. Are you still under warranty? Regular Apple warranty is 90 days after you buy it. (I believe)
